Rafael Limon T-Shirts
Description: The last fight in the Chacon–Limón rivalry was perhaps the most compelling one. Limón had already become WBC world Jr. Lightweight champion twice. Chacon, meanwhile, had insisted on boxing, dreaming that he would someday become world champion again. Limón–Chacon IV was the only bout between the two fighters where a world title was involved. The fight was held on December 11, 1982, at the Memorial Auditorium in Sacramento, California. The Ring heralded this fight as their "fight of the year". Keith Jackson was commentating at ringside and the fight was televised live on ABC's Wide World of Sports.

Description: "Rafael 'Bazooka' Limon of Mexico, trailing on all three judges' scorecards, landed 13 unanswered punches to knock out Rolando Navarrete at 3:10 of the 12th round Saturday and regain his WBC junior lightweight championship. Limon started his barrage in the waning seconds of the 12th round. A left by the southpaw from Mexico City backed Navarrete, who now lives in Honolulu, into a neutral corner. Two right-left combinations kept Navarrete penned in and from there Limon landed four rights and three lefts to the head. The last left sent Navarrete to the canvas as the bell rung and referee Joey Curtis then counted him out."
